Im up most nights until 2am..after all the kids are in bed I spend an our with my early to bed hubby,pick up the house(I work better in a tide space)then I begin working on the computer, doing research, making audio's or reading. Up at 7 with my 4 youngest ones and a big cup of coffee.
Every day except Monday(my office day) I curl up with my 2 youngest ones at 1pm and tell a story then sleep 2 hours, get up a 1/2 b4 the babys and help Ms.10 yr with home work, wake the babys, do snack.........

I usually get 8 hours a night. I try very very very hard to keep my sleep routine during the week. Getting less than 8 hours of sleep just about kills me. Also if I have to get up with a kid in the middle of the night (or a pet) it completely screws me up the next day. Luckily it is rare that I am up in the middle of the night!!

I usually get 7 hrs. Which sounds good, but I am constantly getting up a few times a night to either pee or check on the kids. So its not really solid.
To catch up, hubby and I let eachother sleep late on the weekends.
SAT he can sleep late, I take the kids to breakfast or the park in the AM,
SUN I sleep late, he does the same.
So we both sleep until 10-11 once a week.
Even if I am not tired, I stay in bed, watch TV, or read magazines.
3 hours of peace and quiet really relaxes the soul.

6-7 hours a night. I have to be really exhausted to not wake up around 6 am which is when my alarm usually goes off - even on weekends and vacation. I catch up with a nap on the weekends, when possible.
